I now experience a different, more subtle connection between mind and body. It does not require that I flex muscles. It does not dissipate in the presence of increasing inward silence.
… It does require, however, that I seek more profoundly within my own experience and do so with an open mind. It means that I must reach intuitively into what may feel like darkness.
Matthew Sanford told an amazing story on Speaking of Faith this morning that so far I've only heard in dribs and drabs. Krista Tippett's introduction was "We explore what he's learned about the grace of the human body — even through trauma and aging." This sounds like a story tailor-made for me, and I can hardly wait to give it the attention it deserves.
